The features supported by the open source radeon drivers (for AMD/ATI GPUs) is tracked here:

Apart from memory re-clocking for R300 or older GPUs, all of the "Power Saving" functionality is already in place.
The work to go towards OpenGL 3.0, 3.1 and beyond is listed here:

After stagnating for a long time, this work is finally nearing completion and the majority of items in the OpenGL 3.x work are done. Thankfully it is going ahead at an accelerating rate now.
Performance is also improving all the time.
Just for a bit of perspective here ...
